RUSH

Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

CO: $49.95
BTN: $50.30
Hero (SB): $54.20
BB: $40.75
UTG: $51.85
UTG+1: $46.50
UTG+2: $56.40
MP1: $78.25
MP2: $77.40

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is SB with K

UTG raises to $1.50, 3 folds, MP2 calls $1.50, 1 fold, BTN calls $1.50, Hero raises to $7.50, 1 fold, UTG raises to $26, 2 folds, Hero requests TIME, 1 fold

Was just looking to take down the pot

4 tabling I didnt realize UTG was initial raiser, is a shove breakeven enough of the time to justify it? im pretty sure not, 4bet looks like a steal, could this be as light as some medium pair, AK?

Thanks

Hard to say without a read, but UTG open/4bet looks pretty damn strong. You are 40/60 against a range of JJ+/AK, and you are 30/70 against a range of QQ+. Like I said, it is hard to assign a range without stats, but a lot of villains have a range of KK+ which you are 18/82 against.

looks meh, but I am not sure of another way to play it. $7.50 is a little big for a b/f, but meh.

Probably the weakest range to put on your opponent is QQ+ and AK. You're a 3-2 dog against that range.

If you want fold equity to a shove, you're risking $44.35 to win $36.50. You don't need to win that often, but I'd have to think your FE is close to nothing since your opponent will be getting 3-1 on a call.

You probably have to fold here.

i think you played it fine. if he calls or folds hands like 99-JJ its profitable either way given the dead money i think. you have no FE once he 4bets so just forget about that, you have to decide right then if you can stack off with AK and expect not to be crushed. QQ is the bottom of his range here imo.
